I have some trouble with him being tried by a military court. He is not subject to the UCMJ and likely not the Geneva Accords...so what are they trieing him under?

Anyone else find it very convenient that his civilian lawyers weren't allowed in?
"It's definitely a fair trial, just you know, no cameras, press, civilians, monitors, and only people who stand to lose a lot if he's found not guilty."
Re: First gitmo captive pleads out.
Hmm, yes, I think that was originally codified by Pompeius Magnus; we've been invoking it quite a lot.
It has a certain clarity, though, doesn't it?

Now he has the chance to return to his home country - Australia. Where he may actually receive a real trial if he is allowed too.
Let us wait and see just how the powers that be continue to handle this travesty. Personally, I thought the Supreme Court already ruled that the millitary tribunals as being conducted were illegal - what changed?

Re: First gitmo captive pleads out.
well those 2 lines should put a damper on anyone who thinks this proves the big G is workingEarlier Hicks's Australian lawyer, David McLeod, said Hicks was convinced he would not get a fair trial and might plead guilty if it would get him home sooner.
McLeod said there had been discussions about a potential plea agreement under which Hicks would receive a reduced sentence if he pleaded guilty.
basically i think his lawyer relised he wouldnt get out unless he pleaded for something and so made a deal for a pathetic charge...
Re: First gitmo captive pleads out.
it seems like our wonderful government might of leaned on the US to offer a deal and get him out of there, it wasn't doing anyone any good i think...
goes to show how bad he must of been to offer "the worst of the worst" a deal in which he gets home with very likely almost zero extra time to serve... great process i say...
the best part is the wonderful government here, say that this justifies their position all along... what garbage...
